Now that’s what I call a ferbunny or a bunret…well when you have lemons make lemonaide. When you don’t have a rabbit grab the ferret…

I love the holidays that make it acceptable to dress pets.
It is always amusing to watch the outcome, lol.

12 ceebs 04.08.07 at 2:27 pm

Is Hilary S. just a pseudonym for “Hilarious”? cuz that’s what this pic is!! heee!
I second MMB’s thoughts…these are excellent pics to post Meg!

13 jen 04.08.07 at 2:50 pm

lol. this is one clever ferret, but he better not try donning a turkey costume at thanksgiving!

14 Athenae 04.08.07 at 3:32 pm

Bunny-Ferret: Yo, what up.

Porcelain Rabbit: ZOMGWTF

B-F: Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?

PR: *flees*

Thanks for this. I needed some ferret funny this a.m.

15 Subhangi 04.08.07 at 3:57 pm

Ferret: Look at my ears!

Rabbit: Look at my ‘tocks!

16 Tor 04.08.07 at 4:03 pm

I don’t think I understand the pose of the porcelain bunny. Someone explain please–is it just frolicking and rolling in the eastertide ‘meadow?’ Showing submisch to the ferret??

17 chelonianmobile 04.08.07 at 4:14 pm

D’aww. Subterfuge. Of course, being a CuteOverload ferret, he’s not hunting bunnies any more. Oh no, he just wants the eggs.

18 R. Moore 04.08.07 at 4:27 pm

That is BY FAR the cutest picture of a ferret I’ve ever seen.

Brilliant.

19 deya 04.08.07 at 5:07 pm

that is so cute . i love it

20 SeaBreeze 04.08.07 at 5:20 pm

OMG! This guy is so Eastery!! Happy Easter, everybunny~ =)

21 Physics Joe 04.08.07 at 5:50 pm

You can see that he’s a baby – by his little nose. My babies have grown out of that stage. But still just as cute!

22 Lee Gibson 04.08.07 at 7:13 pm

It’s Kiki! The next frame, he’ll be twitching on the ground in ferret shock!

Costumed Comedy!

That just cracked me up!!!

24 fluidstatic 04.08.07 at 8:44 pm

@ athenae — Oh, yesh, ferret pickup artist. I love.

25 sara 04.08.07 at 8:53 pm

that ferret should be on the cadbury egg commercial with all the other animals trying out to be the easter bunny. he would totally win the right to be the cadbury bunny!

26 musicchick2 04.08.07 at 9:09 pm

Here comes Frankie-ferret-tail
Hopping down the ferret trail
Hippity hoppity Easter’s on it’s way!!

27 Halo Askew 04.09.07 at 12:48 am

That is wunnerfully anerable!

28 trish 04.09.07 at 3:42 am

I usually don’t like ferrets that much, but this is sooo adorable!

29 Kit 04.09.07 at 4:36 am

I speak from experience in trying to photograph ferrets… it’s damn hard! Props to the photographer, and to the ferret for dealing with it.

30 o 04.09.07 at 8:42 am

Ewwwwwww… easter ferret. Ewwwwwwwwww… ferret.

31 ThreeCatNight 04.09.07 at 2:39 pm

“I wanna Easter egg, I wanna Easter egg, I wanna Easter egg!”
I’m the Easter Bunny,hoo-ray,
Happy Easter Bunny, hoo-ray!
I am going looney-tooney, touched in the head,
This whole thing is screwy, I should’ve stood in bed!
(With apologies to Bugs Bunny)

32 paiffie 04.09.07 at 4:16 pm

Tor, I don’t know about this particular bunny, but my mother has a remarkably similar bunny figurine that we lovingly refer to as “The Birthing Bunny.” Perhaps the ferret is her OB?

33 Rosie 04.09.07 at 5:31 pm

WHAT??? nobody noticed Egg Mountain in the background?? perhaps they’re on Easter Island…..

34 Katie 04.09.07 at 6:24 pm

SO CUTE!!! I just love ferts…I doubt any of my three ferts would let me do that. SO PRECIOUS! Thanks for the submish. :)

35 Crazed 04.10.07 at 6:49 am

This picture had my husband and I laughing for minutes, but what really made it for me were the awesome expressions this caused on his face. It was as though both of his eyebrows were battling for dominance, seeking a truce so that both could raise, and then battling again. Then he literally curled into a little ball because his head couldn’t take the stress. ^_^
Thanks, CO!

36 Jessalyn 04.11.07 at 3:16 pm

He looks a little lost…

37 geekmidwinter 04.11.07 at 7:33 pm

He looks so sad and so sweet! It looks like he’s asking “Are you my mommy?” I want to hug him to death!
